我喜欢现实与幻想界限模糊的故事。我喜欢世界并不像看起来那么简单这个想法。
I like stories where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred. I like the idea that the world is not as simple as it seems.
I profess both to learn and to teach anatomy, not from books but from dissections.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. At your funeral people will not recall what you did； they will only remember how you made them feel.
世界因你的关注而存在。忽略爱人，感情会淡；忽略梦想，人生会平庸。主动“看见”，生活才会鲜活起来。
语言是一种皮肤：我用我的语言摩擦对方。就好像我有的是词语而不是手指，或者我的词语尖端有手指。
